DisplayMemberPath concatenation
Unfortunately, this is not possible with DisplayMemberPath
. You have the following alternatives:
Specify a DataTemplate
<ComboBox> <ComboBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock> <TextBlock.Text> <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}{0}: {1}"> <Binding Path="idregion"/> <Binding Path="description"/> </MultiBinding> </TextBlock.Text> </TextBlock> </DataTemplate> </ComboBox.ItemTemplate> </ComboBox>
(If you are wondering about the empty braces in the StringFormat attribute, see: What do the {} brackets mean in the StringFormat section of a Binding syntax?)
Add a property or field to your data source. How to do that depends on your data source:
If your combo box is bound to a DataTable, add a DataColumn and fill its values in a loop. Alternatively, change your SQL and add the concatenated value to your
SELECT
clause.If your combo box is bound to a POCO or entity framework object, add a property that returns the concatenation.
You need to use a DataTemplate
:
<ComboBox Name="cboRegion">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock>
<Run Text="{Binding idregion}" />
<Run Text="{Binding description}" />
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
